Father James Brenth says a blessing for Wendall Wills of Washington outside the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington on Tuesday, May 24, 2011, as friars pray with him on the steps. Fourteen Catholic friars from the Dominican order held a pilgrimage from the Dominican House of Studies in Northeast Washington to St. Dominic's Parish in Southwest. They stopped at St. Matthew's to hold a brief prayer service, and Mr. Wills, who said he used to sleep on the church steps, asked them for a blessing on their way out. (Barbara L.
